Lyrics
HICK AT HEART MARK "BUC" WILLIAMS 2017(ASCAP)
(V1)
GREW UP WITH SWEAT RUNNIN' DOWN MY BROW
WORKIN' THEM FIELDS, MILKIN' THEM COWS
DECIDED EARLY ON THIS WASN'T FOR ME
SO I HEADED OFF TO COLLEGE AND EARNED A DEGREE
NOW EVERYBODY BACK HOME THINKS I'M SO SMART
BUT I'M STILL A HICK AT HEART
(CHORUS 1)
I'M STILL A HICK AT HEART, STILL LIKE TO GO OUT DANCIN'
DRINKIN' BEER AND SHOOTIN' DARTS
DOGS PLAYIN' POKER IS MY IDEA OF FINE ART
CAUSE I'M STILL A HICK AT HEART
(V2)
INSTEAD OF PULLIN' A PLOW I'M PUSHIN' A PEN
WORKIN' 9 TO 5, OFF ON THE WEEKENDS
AIR CONDITIONED OFFICE, 401 K
COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH WITH AN IRA
MY PAST AND MY PRESENT MAY BE WORLDS APART
BUT I'M STILL A HICK AT HEART
(CHORUS 2)
I'M STILL A HICK AT HEART, STILL LIKE TO GO FOUR WHEELIN'
DO MY SHOPPIN' AT WAL-MART
I GET A LITTLE HOMESICK WHEN I PASS A TRAILER PARK
CAUSE I'M STILL A HICK AT HEART
I WOUND UP MARRYIN' A HOMETOWN GIRL
AND GOT MYSELF THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
SHE LIKES TAILGATE PARTIES AND AMUSEMENT PARKS
CAUSE I'M STILL A HICK AT HEART
(CHORUS)
YEA I'M STILL A HICK AT HEART, STILL LIKE TO GO OUT DANCIN'
DRINKIN' BEER AND SHOOTIN' DARTS
DOGS PLAYIN' POKER IS MY IDEA OF FINE ART
CAUSE I'M STILL A HICK AT HEART
YEA THAT DOWN HOME WAY OF LIVIN' AND I WILL NEVER PART
CAUSE I'M STILL A HICK AT HEART
YEA I'M STILL A HICK AT HEART
